The third Saturday in October is only a few days away, which means Alabama and Tennessee will renew its annual rivalry for the 99th time.

This will be the 10th meeting since Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa, and the Crimson Tide hasn't lost once to Vols during that stretch. This year's Tennessee team has as much confidence as any in the past decade after beginning the season 5-1 and climbing all the way up to the top 10 in national polls.

Despite having momentum and a home game, Tennessee is still a 13-point underdog on Saturday afternoon. That might seem a little high for a top-10 matchup, but keep in mind that Alabama has an average margin of victory of 21 points during the nine-game winning streak.

The two teams will kickoff at 2:30PM inside Neyland Stadium and the game will be televised by CBS.
